Answer 1

80.5

Explanation:

Answer 2

the median is 80.5

Explanation:

first we put them in order

75,76,77,79,80,81,85,86,90,91

the median is the middle number...however, in cases where there are an even number of numbers, ur gonna have 2 middle numbers....so u take the average of those 2 numbers...basically, u add them and divide by 2.

So we have 2 numbers in the middle.....we add them and divide by 2 to get the median.

(80 + 81) / 2 = 161/2 = 80.5 <== the median
